MARITIE STRIKE PARLEY AWAITED Both Sides Are Looking to Resuinption of Peace Conversations. By the Associated Press. SAN ANCISCO, January 4— Both shipowners and maritime union leaders avowedly stood ready to resume their much-interrupted peace con- versations,| but whether they would meet todaj as tentatively scheduled remained Jndetermmed. With the tie-up in its sixty-sixth day, spokesmen for both sides said it was “generally understood” there would be a| meeting between employers and ship radio telegraphers, but that nothing ddfinite had been worked out. Preparations for launching a legisla- tive program as well as speaking tours and holiday activities combined to interrupt fhe union-by-union negotia= tions which have been in progress for several wepks. —_— Ay $2 3 ¥ interim the shipowners and | unions studied the report af the Fed- eral Maritime Commission to Congreas that it “lacked authority to proceed further” with peace activities. There was no immediate comment. The newly created commission made several attempts to avert the strike by asking both sides to continue under old agreements and temporary condi- tions pending an investigation of the whole situation, Its report to Congress disclosed this investigation was continuing, although the commission added it withdrew from active participation in matters connected with the walkout directly after the strike was called October 29. ‘The Federal agency told Congress that while the new merchant marine act granted it power to fix minimum wages, manning scales and working conditions on subsidized ships, there was no authority for the commission to “participate or intervene in mari- time labor disputes.” Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady temporarily abandoned his peacemaking activities here to re- port the situation to the administra- tion on the eve of the opening on Congress. The unions mustered a committee to formulate legislation intended to preserve the right to strike and at the same time empower the Govern- ment to take measures toward settling maritime labor disputes before they reach the actual walkout stage. ngher prwed successes from our own stocks.
